Westig, M.P. (author), Thierschmann, R. (author), Katan, A.J. (author), Finkel, M. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)We experimentally study the free-space electromagnetic field emitted from a multimode rectangular waveguide equipped with a diagonal-horn antenna. Using the frequency range of 215-580 GHz, a photomixer is used to launch a free-space circularly polarized electromagnetic field, exciting multiple modes at the input of the rectangular waveguide...journal article 2021

Westig, M.P. (author), Thierschmann, R. (author), Katan, A.J. (author), Finkel, M. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)We study experimentally the transmission of an electromagnetic waveguide in the frequency range from 160 to 300 GHz. Photo-mixing is used to excite and detect the fundamental TE<sub>10</sub> mode in a rectangular waveguide with two orders-of-magnitude lower impedance. The large impedance mismatch leads to a strong frequency dependence of the...journal article 2020

(author)We study the electrodynamic impedance of percolating conductors with a predefined network topology using a scanning microwave impedance microscope at gigahertz frequencies. For a given percolation number we observe strong spatial variations across a sample that correlate with the connected regions (clusters) in the network when the...journal article 2020

Finkel, M. (author), Thierschmann, R. (author), Katan, A.J. (author), Westig, M.P. (author), Spirito, M. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)We have realized a microstrip based terahertz (THz) near field cantilever that enables quantitative measurements of the impedance of the probe tip at THz frequencies (0.3 THz). A key feature is the on-chip balanced hybrid coupler that serves as an interferometer for passive signal cancellation to increase the readout circuit sensitivity...journal article 2019
